Oh, sorry, yazikus – by the time you typed that I had already been to Bulldog and left. Once I knew a copy was within reach, even though they were holding it for me, I couldn’t pause until I got my hands on it. I won’t be near there again very soon – I had the use of a car today but won’t again for more than two weeks.

No worries, Ophelia, it was a long shot! There are perks to living not out in the boonies, where I live. On the other hand, it only takes me like seven minutes to drive from one end of town to the other, and I get to complain about ‘traffic’ when there are more than about five cars on a four lane st. Alas, I’ll have to wait to see if one of the local institutions of higher education gets one it.

Excellent, I’ve been hoping you’d pick up a copy for weeks now.
Well now keep looking, all – Bulldog got its copies only on Wednesday – before that they were saying they couldn’t, and weren’t going to be able to. That indicates to me that the reach is gradually growing, so check with bookstores and newsagents.

Ophelia, any tiny chance you would pick me up a copy? You could email me to arrange payment. I would so like to have a copy.

I am not at all intensely jealous.
(Awesome. And there could be no better home for one.)

I AM insanely jealous and I’m not even going to pretend otherwise.
Any chance you’re taking pics and working up a blog entry on it?
